Huff Harrington's 2017
collection fills its new

The decor in 2017 is all
about "the mix," according
to the co-owners of Huff
Harrington Home.

“the mix,” such as pairing a mid-century
starburst mirror or 19th century Louis
XVI mirror with an elaborate chandelier.
“We tell our customers it’s like getting
two chandeliers for one because
the reflection is stunning!” Huff says.

easoned designers and co-owners of
Huff Harrington Home, Ann Huff and
Meg Harrington spent the last part of 2016
scouting French fairs and expositions to
curate their winter collection, just in time
to stock the boutique’s new location on
Roswell Road near Flip Burger. They went
on the hunt all around central and southern
France to find unique antiques that reflect
their favorite French saying: “L’un fait
chanter l’autre,” which means “one makes
the other sing.” They found these items
by scouring exposition halls built in the
1960s, perusing dusty bins before sunrise
and venturing to Paris's famed Les Puces
flea market where they also took time
to indulge in the open Champagne bar.
The antique connoisseurs let their hearts
take the lead when scouting for treasures.
“When we see something that catches
our eye, we call it that ‘ooh la la’ moment,’”
Huff says. “One of us scouts while
the other writes the tickets, and then
we switch so the eyes stay fresh.”
The design duo says 2017 is all about

The store’s 2017 winter selection
offers a lighter look and feel, including
a refurbished Louis XV table and
ocean-blue glass siphons. Shoppers
will also find reduced prices from
the 2016 Christmas collection. n

HANOVER EAST PACES
TAKES A 3D APPROACH
Hanover East Paces, a new
luxury apartment complex off
Pharr Road behind The Shops
Buckhead Atlanta, opens
doors to tenants this month.
Prospective residents have
been touring the one- and
two-bedroom apartments
and studios long before the
project broke ground last
year. Hanover is one of the
first developers in the city to
utilize Oculus Rift technology
to showcase pre-construction spaces. From viewing the
17 floor plans and interacting
with the kitchen amenities,

the technology transforms
static 2D renderings and
brings them to life in 3D
via Oculus Rift VR goggles.
Home buyers can soon
interact with five more
of Hanover’s mixed-use
development projects
set to launch this year.
